Hi Terri,
Glad you wrote. Can you confirm for me that your grandfather, William E. F. Thurber was b. 30 May 1910, the son of Lucius Edgar Freeman Thurber and his 2nd wife, Susan Aitkins?My information shows Lucius as an 8th generation Thurber and the son of Freeman Nathan Thurber. I am in the process of putting together a list of well-known Thurbers, and came across Freeman Nathan Thurber because he was a well-known Civil War veteran who was wounded, discharged for disability, but then reenlisted and was accepted even though he had a wooden leg!At his death in 1902, the Manchester (NH) Mirror ran a story about him. I have a copy of that and would be happy to share it with you if you are interested.I would also like to confirm the information I have on your Thurber line to be sure what I have is accurate.Thanks.Florence (Thurber) Gargaro
